A.E. Phillips 2nd graders in Miss Haley Hay's classroom
completed scientific observations outdoors under the facilitation of elementary
practicum teacher candidates Jessica McMillan and Jennifer Moreland. Students
concluded that Ruston, Louisiana, was sunny today. Through 2014 grant funding
from Louisiana Tech's Lagniappe Ladies, iPads and Apple TVs were used to
further develop the lesson, and Miss McMillan motivated the class in her
"weather-related wardrobes." This is just one of many great lessons
being taught on campus through our school/university partnership with
outstanding clinical school faculty serving as mentors under the direction of
A.E. Phillips Laboratory Director Dr. JoAnn Hood and elementary practicum
coordinator, Dr. Amy Vessel. In a typical year, almost fifty teacher candidates
are placed at AEP to meet clinical requirements in reading, mathematics,
science, and social studies practica.
